The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 623: Defeating the Qin Army to Congratulate Your Majesty on His Enthronement!

It's not yet bright in the east, but on the wide Qijiang River, there are bright lights in the east and west.

Qin's navy attempted to sneak attack on Daxia's navy camp on the east bank, but fortunately Gan Ning had more foresight and sent scouts to investigate and found clues, otherwise he might have been caught off guard. Moreover, the attack at this time shows that the Qin army has been planning for a long time.

And as the horn of assembly sounded, the Great Xia army immediately set up its position and was ready to attack!

Gan Ning is confident of defeating Qin's navy, not only by relying on his well-trained soldiers, but also by relying on improved warships!

The improved building boat is equipped with a striker on the bow. It is long and thick, and it tilts downward. As long as it collides with the opponent's ship, it will directly pierce the opponent's ship wall and let the lake water pour into the cabin.

Secondly, a ram is installed on the deck. Using the principle of hinges and levers, when the opponent's ship approaches, the lever will throw out a large iron ball weighing hundreds of kilograms and hit it hard on the opponent's ship. Most of the ships are made of wood. , How can it stop the attack of the big iron ball!

In addition, there is also a large Zhuge Liannu installed on the building, the power is absolutely astonishing.

These are attacks, and for defense, leather is installed on the building, which is fire-resistant, and the hull is iron-clad wood, which increases the defense and impact. As for the inner bottom of the ship, the partition space is used. Even if a large hole is broken in the hull and water enters, there is a partition to block the ship, and the ship will not easily tilt.

Unless there are other improvements, Gan Ning personally participated in the entire improvement process, and he deeply understands the combat effectiveness and lethality of this improved building ship!

Gan Ning's side was also ready, and then the horns changed their rhythm, and the boats lit countless torches, illuminating a large area of ​​the river, and Daxia's side also began to attack!

As a navy, the battlefield is naturally on the river.

As the morning approached, the fog gradually showed signs of dissipating. Daxia and Qin's navy finally approached each other, and the distance between them was only five or six miles away!

On the wide river surface, the dark ships on both sides appeared very dense, and the generals on both sides held their breath, because they were about to start fighting!

Just listen to that, the sound of war drums is as rapid as thunder, and the sound of horns is calm and murderous. The boats tear the surface of the river, causing the waves to roll on the calm river.

The Qijiang Battalion of the State of Qin used arrow clusters to attack, using the largest building boat as the arrow cluster, with its two wings extending backwards, piercing the Xia army.

Gan Ning used horns to line up troops, but instead used a long snake formation, with forty state-of-the-art buildings lined up in a line, and other small and medium-sized warships attached to the sides to fill the gaps between the big ships, thus forming a warship formation. A huge long snake with a length of three or four miles.

If you have God's vision, if you appreciate it from top to bottom, you will find that Qin's arrows are shooting at the body of the long snake.

The commander of Qin's navy was named Bi Fang.

He stood on the frontmost building boat, and his horse was at the front. This ship is the largest and most powerful building boat in Qin State. He will use this ship to smash Xia Guo's ship tonight, making Xia The country knows who is the overlord on the Qijiang River!

Seeing that the two sides are getting closer and approaching the attacking range of the bow and crossbow, when Bi Fang notified the drummer to beat the drum as a horn for a wave of long-range attack first, he was about to open his mouth when he suddenly heard the sound of Xia Jun on the opposite side. The horn!

Bi Fang immediately sneered, the distance between the two sides was still three miles, did the other side sound the horn and prepare to shoot?

Daqin's most excellent crossbow bed can shoot nearly two miles, and the farther away is the end of the crossbow. Now that the distance between the two sides is so far, Daxia thinks there are too many crossbow arrows, so do you want to waste a wave?

But before Bi Fang could sneer a few times, a ferocious spear-shaped crossbow flew by, stabbing a soldier beside him to death, and pinning him to the deck.

In an instant, there was a dead silence on board.

Immediately afterwards, there was a whizzing sound of breaking wind, and dozens of terrifying crossbow arrows flew down, scaring Bi Fang to dodge hastily, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak, his body was covered in cold sweat without noticing it.

How could Daxia's crossbow bolts have such a long range?

Yes, it was impossible before, but with Xiao Ruijia system, everything is possible.

The structure of the "Three Bow Bed Crossbow" in the Northern Song Dynasty in the previous life was to install three large bows on a special wooden frame, and use the combined power of the three strong bows to shoot long arrows. When the strength is large, eight cows are needed to pull the bowstring, so it is also called "eight cow crossbow". The range of the three-bow bed crossbow can reach as far as 1,500 steps, which is about 1,500 meters today. It is the bow with the longest range in ancient times.

How could Xiao Rui let go of such a long-distance attack weapon! It is not difficult to draw a bow that requires a lot of force. You only need to use the principle of leverage, and use a winch to cooperate with gears to pull it open. Only three or four people can operate it.

Didn't the State of Qin claim to have a strong bow and a fast arrow? At this time, teach them to be good people!

The menacing Qin State navy was the first to be frustrated, and Bi Fang was so angry that he was afraid and angry, and then ordered the drums to inform the whole army to speed up the attack. Only by closing the distance and reaching their attack range, could they suppress the opponent's strong crossbow!

Gan Ning also sensed the other party's intention, he sneered.

The three-bow bed crossbow is a long-range attack, but at a medium distance, how can Daxia not have a backup?

Next, it's time for the Zhuge Liannu to appear!

The range of the large Zhuge Liannu is not as good as that of the three-bow bed crossbow, but it can fire ten arrows in a row, which has greater lethality and a wider attack range. Do you Qin think that you can gain an advantage by shortening the distance?

Then you have to try a more terrifying blow.

So when the distance got closer and Qin Guo also started firing their crossbow arrows, they were shocked to find that the opponent's crossbow arrows had increased and were densely packed!

The terrifying arrow feathers fell like heavy rain, and many Qin soldiers were shot and killed before they could dodge in time. In this state, whoever has more arrows and can cover them will be able to crush the opponent.

Bi Fang, the commander of Qin State, was angry again. He hid in the boat, listening to the sound of arrows shooting on the boat, da da da da...

It was like heavy rain hitting a house, making him fly into a rage.

"Continue to beat the drums, continue to speed up, and give this general a hard hit!"

Bi Fang was furious. Since both long and medium range were suppressed, he had no choice but to attack! You can't be crushed in melee.

It's just that he forgot that Daxia still has gunpowder, which is useless.

Gunpowder is equipped with a trebuchet, just like a widow with a widower, that is too good. The trebuchet is suitable for short-to-medium-range attacks. The stone balls flew up one by one and smashed into the Qin warships. The large ships were better, and they would not be destroyed, but the small and medium-sized warships were not so lucky.

These stone balls are not carved from stone, but made of cement, first modeled, leaving a central hole for gunpowder, and the core is gunpowder. The middle layer is the filler, the inside is the caltrops and the patches, and the outside is the cement.

When it is thrown, ignite the fuse, and then throw it, whether it hits the ship or explodes in the air, the power is very weak.

In this way, before the two sides collided with each other, Da Xia's attack from far, middle and near caused heavy casualties to Qin's navy.

Compared with the casualties, the soldiers of Qin State were more confused. They were all wondering what kind of opponent they encountered and why their equipment was so strong! Completely lost the courage to fight!

On the other hand, the Great Xia Navy's self-confidence instantly went up.

This is why Xiao Rui focuses on equipment and revitalizes the army. In the past, Great Xia was also very strong, but if he really wanted to fight Qin, he would have to face each other head-on. At that time, it was all about the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and the strategy of the commander.

But when the equipment crushes the opponent, the balance will tip.

That's why Xiao Rui always believed that wars should be fought with equipment.

When the warships of the two sides finally collided, there were few casualties on the Daxia side, but the Qin side had already lost its troops.

Next came the close combat.

At the same time, Gan Ning ordered the horn to be blown, and the long snake array began to connect end to end, strangling each other.

To deal with the long snake array, you can't hit the head or the tail. As for hitting the body, hum, that's even a dead end. Make a circle from the beginning to the end, and then the strangulation will begin. What is the most powerful attack of a snake? Winding and strangling!

Bi Fang had been stunned by a series of attacks, and he didn't realize that he was surrounded. He ordered his soldiers to fight back, and Qin's warship slammed into Daxia's building ship.

The effect of force is mutual, and it depends on who is tough when it comes to head-to-head.

What's more, the bow of the Great Xia warship still had a bell, which directly pierced the opponent's cabin, and the river began to flow backwards. At the same time, the ram on the ship was fired, and the iron ball was pulled by the iron chain and smashed hard on the ship. Some iron balls smashed into the deck and into the building.

Afterwards, the soldiers of the Great Xia spread wooden boards, raised their knives and charged towards the opponent's ship, starting hand-to-hand combat.

At the same time, Xia Guo's small boats also started to move. The small boats can only carry three or four sailors. It seems that they are useless. If they are hit by the enemy's big ships, they will roll over and cannot attack the big ships. However, the mobility of the small ships Flexible! They can flexibly approach the big ship, load the gunpowder on the ship, and then use the small boat as a carrier to hit the big ship and detonate it.

Warships are all made of wood, and no matter how good the wood is, it can't stop the power of gunpowder. This method of destroying a big ship with a small boat is very good, with less loss and the biggest attack.

In order to win the water battle, Daxia studied countless offensive methods, integrating long, medium and short range. At this time, he was finally able to show his might and let Qin State taste the price!

And the next result is obvious. The Qin army surrounded by Daxia soldiers and horses suffered a devastating blow. If it weren't for the subsequent reinforcements from Qijiang Battalion tore apart the Daxia encirclement, some ships and soldiers could be rescued , Qin's attacking army will be completely wiped out!

When the rising sun in the east tore through the darkness, the sky and the earth suddenly brightened, and the white mist on the river also completely dissipated.

At this time, there are floating planks, wrecked boats, and ships that have not yet submerged on the river.

The Qin State Navy fled, fled back to the base camp, and took all the buildings and boats into the water camp, not daring to leave the boats on the river.

They suffered a miserable defeat and suffered heavy losses. This battle caused the Qijiang camp to suffer a complete defeat, and the warships accumulated over the years were destroyed.

On the other hand, Da Xia, although there were also losses, but compared with Qi Jiangying, it was hardly a loss!

Gan Ning raised his arms and shouted: "Long live your majesty, a thousand years your highness!"

The soldiers were also infected, shouting loudly, and their voices shook the sky.

They proved themselves with victory, and at the same time, they gave His Royal Highness the crown prince the most suitable congratulatory gift!

There are still five days until His Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne!

Therefore, Jiebao will send the Jiebao back to Kyoto in the way of 800-mile express delivery, without interruption and without rest, even if you die in the middle of the run!
